Shahene Chaouachi
I'm a junior at UC Berkeley studying math and computer science. I'm interested in full stack development, vector search, RAG, and building APIs. I enjoy learning by shipping real software.
I'm a Sponsorship Director for Cal Hacks, the world's largest collegiate hackathon (3,000+ hackers). I've worked with sponsors including Anthropic, Jane Street, and Redis.
I'm currently looking for software engineering internships for Summer 2027.
